I On motion ot Mr. Updogran, the rules were mis- j ponded in order to take up the bill to provide for the payment of tho domestic creditors of tho State, which was then taken up. The question being upon tho amendment offered by Mr. Stanton to the amendment made in committee of the whole, Mr. S. further advocated his amend ment ami oiixsed the calling in of the surplus rev enue in ItCjO, for the purposes contemplated in the bill contending that the lurid could only be recalled, with propriety and justice, for the siecitic purpose or contingency contemplated in tho act of distribution ; that under present circumstances, its repayment in IP.rtJ is impossible i that tn exact it, will be oppress ive; &c. lie wished the bill put in such a shape that he could vote for it; but it cannot bo expected that he should vote for a bill the provisions of which would en nd his constituent to powder. Ho named several counties which he averred could not possibly refund their projiortions of the surplus revenue in Mr. Nosh took tho sat no side. Tho surplus reve nue fund was deposited with the several counties upon the express undentinding that it would not be tilled lor but upon the occurrence ot one ot two con tingencies, neither of which had yet occurred, nor could it bo known tint they would or would not occur namely, a demand from the tieneral Govern ment or by tho Stale, in 1K0, for tho payment of (he tour millions ot public debt doe at the tune the act was pissed. This fund, then, being socilically appniprutcd. cannot be diverted to any other purpose. lie spoke, also, ui tho great burden mat would ne imposed upon the citizens of many counties, by calling iisn thein to refund in lH.V). He said, beside, that the bill left it optional with the counties to col lect or not; and it it passed in its present shape, without absolute requirement, the fund would not bo available at tho time payment is required. It can only be mised by additional taxation, and no county not absolutely required would arid in the present bnr- lens. The pledge, then, would ho worthless, lie hoped the hill would be put in such a form that all could vote for it Mr. Birtley nlo took the view thai the appropria tion of the surplus revenue contemplated in the bill was in violation ot the wrillen pit dire o the tatn, liled in the office of the Secretary of Slate of the Lmled Slates, that the ttind was to be preserved and held subji'Ct to the call of tho General Government Let it bit appropriated as proposed, and where would it bo should the General Government call for it? What would become of the faith of the Slate, pledg ed to the General Government at the timo of recciv that fund ? Mr. Parker contended that the terms of tho act distributing the suridus revenue to the several coun ties, require its repayment in Ir-'iO. If comities were noi tn a condition to nMumi at mat nine, Um tncui be the consequences ul their disobrdienco ot the law, which required its investment in such way as to be aailable at a specihrd time. Mr. Walton was opposed tn pledging and appro priating the surplus revenue, mr ttie same reasons urged by previous stinkers, as a species o immo rality and rrnudiation. It was, also, dishonest to pledge a tumi, ii it wore properly applicable, wnmi it must be known thnt the Mud cannot by possibility bo collected, 1 1' 'furc a veto was taken, The Senate adjourned. HOUSK OK REPRESENTATIVES. Jiilt prrsW To divorce John A. Ackley from his wife Caroline Ackley yeas ICi, nays 4. The bill to divorce Dante) pnrmh from his wife Adeline G.

Petitions, kc. prttntettXy Mr. Douglass, a re monstrance against tho relief of the securities of Hamilton Robbi by Mr. Mclonncll, Tor the passage of a law to prevent usury j by Mr. Dtldwin, for Ihe incorporation ot a religious society. Mr. Johnson, from the committee en Corporations, reported a bill to incoqorato tho Salem Academy of It oss con my, Mr. Fuller, from the committee on Schools, Col leges, Ac, reported adversely In the petition of I len- ry I lodgsden, asking an amendment ol tho school law, Agreod to. Mr. Clark, from the committee on Public Institu tions, reported bark tho resolution of the Senate ap pointing Samuel parsons one of Ihe Directors of the Lunatic Asylum, recommending its passage. Mr. Spindler moved lo amend tho resolution by striking out the name of Samuel Parsons," and inserting that of "Stephen K. Bradley" lostlS to -Iti. Mr. Dyington moved to recommit the resolution to a select committee of five. He was understood to object to the appointment of Mr. Parsons, on the ground of his being a 41 d -d old Whig," and a ISanK Ltirector. Messrs. McFarland, Olds, and Henderson were opposed tu allowing party considerations to enter into tho management of the Public Institutions. Mr. Sharp moved to accompany the motion with nstructiuns thut the committee inquire w hether it is expedient and promotive of the public interests to give to citizens of Columbus an undue influence in the Hoard of Directors of said institution lost. The motion to recommit was then lust and tho resolution adopted yeua 44 nas 21. Mr. Ulds, from the committee on Unnks and the Currency, reported back the bill of the Senate to in-corH)rato tho Dank of Dayton in Montgomery county, without amendment recommending its passage. Air. Aiciulty moved that the bill be indefinitely postponed. Mr. Schenck opposed the motion. Ho had no faith in Latham's law of last winter to regulate Dunking, or in the modification of it which had been made this winter, but he desired that the petitioners asking to bo incorporated, (whose political sentiments were tho same ns those entertained by the present majority of the House,) should be allowed to muke a trial of it. Mr. Fisher objected to the bill, on the ground that the provisions of the law regulating Dunking, requiring notice to be given, had not been complied with by the petitioners. Mr. Chambers was in fnvnr of the motion to indefinitely postpone. He believed the, present law would turn out to be a dead letter on the statute hook, and result in no practical utility to the people. Those of his constituents who were disposed to go into tho business of Dunking on a practical busts, did not so much object to the individual liability principle contained in the bill, ns to the power reserved to the Legislature to amend, alter or repeal charters, when granted. He was also opposed to incorporating individuals for Bunking purposes, unasked and against their wishes. Mr. Dyington thought the bill was too practical, and should therefore vote fonts indefinite postjione-inent There were banks enough already provided for in tho bill for the regulation of bunking, to test its practicability, and to show whether the corporators therein named would consent to do un honest business, or whether they would refuse to accept its provisions without an unlicensed power to swindle the people. Mr. McNulty, on leave, withdrew his motion to indefinitely postpone. Mr. Schenck said he should vote for the engrossment and passage of the bill. He had opHsed the existing taw to regulate banking because he believed it impracticable and inefficient a mere mockery of the wishes am) wants of tho people He spoke of the additional power conferred by it on the Governor, authorizing him to issue his proclamation to procure persons who would accept Kg provisions in case th'se named therein should refuse to do so, and thought that in cae he should be unsuccessful in procuring any "swindling bankers" in litis Stute. he should then muko a requisition on the Governors uf other States for tint purpose and if still unsuccessful, as a last resort, should pardon some of the convicts out of the Penitentiary and tnii-funn them into bankers. So anxious wero the Democracy to procure persons to bank under their bill, and so widely had the alnrln spread through llio country, that he had been informed, on tho authority of a newspaper, that certain gentlemen were waiting on the other side of the Ohio rivor, at Wheeling for the adjournment of this Legislature so they could pass through the State without being forced into tho busmen uf banking. Mr. S. said the petition asking for the establishing of a Dank at Dayton was signed by upwards nf one hundred citizens nf that place, nine-tenths nf whom agreed in political sentiments with the present majority in tho Legislature. Their location was at a point where a Dank hud just gone out of existence which had been doing & successful business tin many years, and another one was needed in its place. The petitioners were all men of ample means, and enpa- iu ui mnrimif n mir inai ni me present law, ah the ireumstances attendimr their implication were necu- liarly favorable to making a fuir test of its practicability, and Mr. S. hojed the majority of the House would by no means refuse to a (lord these persons an opportunity of doing so. .Mr. Uhls took a similar view of tho subiect Ho considered this a test question nf the practicability of the banking law of the present session, and there was no excuse lor refusing to incorporate these mdi- uais wno had made a direct application. I lo thought their location a good one, nml that all the the circumstances attending their application were favor a blc to a fitir triul of the law. Ho hoped the Whig side of the House would support the present bill. He had been fearful that difficulty would have been ex perienced in obtaining persons tn accept the provisions nf the existing law, but was ilad that a volun tary application had been made. Mr. Jtyinirton asked whether tho centleman from Pickaway doubted the practicability of the law to regulate banking, and requested a categorical an swer. Mr. Olds said ho would answer the nuestion if al lowed siillicienl time it would take him an hour or two to do it Mr. McNulty moved to amend tho bill bv addinir thereto a section incorporating certain individuals in Knox county, under tho name of the Owl Creek Darn of Mt. Vernon. Ho said he h id ullorcd his amendment in good faith. He would vote for it and after ward vote against the bill. J he I hnir decided the amendment to be nut of or der, when Mr. McNulty moved to suspend the rules to enable him to oiler it Mr. Robinson opposed the motion tn susnend tho rules on the ground that the amendment could not be entertained without violating a provision in the present law inquiring notice to be given fur making an application to hank under it Mr. Schenck opposed the motion, and considered the amendment as designed for no other object than todi'fcul tho bill. He supported the bill in good faith, and hoied it would pass. Ho repeated that he had no confidence in tho present law for the regulation of bunking, but wishoj its practicability to be tested in order that if it should prove to be a Humbug we should know how to act in reference to iho currency question hereafter.

The Senate retired, and tho House lookup and resumed the consideration of the hill to incorporate, under Uie present law lo regulate Ranking, the Dank of Dayton, in Montgomery county. Mr. Schenck moved to amend the bill, tn that tho capital stock of said Dank shall be divided into shares of two hundred dollars each, (agreeably with the prayer of the petitioners,) instead of one hundred dollars each. i Mr, McNulty demanded the Previous Question, ! which was ordered, and the amendment of Mr. Schenck was rejected yeas 27, nuys 31).

Worthington, of Chnlicothe, fur an alteration of the low to abolish imprisonment tor debt Mr. Hazeltine, from the committee on Public Debt reported buck tho bill to abolish the Board uf Canal Fund Commissioners, and to provide for an investigation of the affairs of said Board, with amendments. Among theikc amendments was one striking out the fourteenth section, which requires an agency or trans fer oil ice in tho city of Now York, winch gave rise to considerable discussion Messrs. Ford, Parker and Nash opposing, and Messrs. Dartley and Huzid-tinu advocating the striking out Lost yeas U, nays n. Mr. Walton offered an additional section, direct ing a full and strict investigation of theaflairs of the old Board, or any uicmher thereof, by the new Board, und empowering it to bring suit it necessary. Mr. Dartley opposed the amendment, though he thought he should have no objection to the object of it if introduced in a separate bill. He did not wish to h ive a general I lw encumbered with a mere tem porary requirement It would, besides, be impolitic to array the old and new Boards against one another. .Mr. Wultoti construed the opposition ot Mr. Bart- ley to Uie amendment as unfavorable tn the proposition itself, and reflected with some severity upon that gentleman, having "marked" that he opposed every projiosition coming from any other member that did not exactly square with his own views. He asserted that the bill without the amendment would not bo worth a cent or a snap, &c. Jlr. liazeltino made some remarks in lustiucntion of the committee on Public Debt from some reflections by Air. Walton. Mr. Dirtley said this was not the place, nor was the proposition to require the new Board to make the investigation the proper manner, tor proceeding agairwt the old Board. It was not possible for the new Board to tnuke the investigation; they will not have lime to attend to it Besides, he insisted that it would array the two Boards against each other, and prejudice Iho public interests, ist the gentle man introduce the proposition for an investigation, in the proper m inner, and he should go wuh him. Air. Walton saw nothing in Uie gentleman s argu ments to operate against his amendment The new Board would have little to do, and abundant tune tu make the investigation. To make a special commission would cost a large sum. Mr. Stanton had heard so many charges against the old Board from the stump, for the purpose of in juring the Whig party, that ho had determined to vote lor the urst proposition tor a full investigation of Uie books and accounts of the Board. He should, therefore, vote fur the amendment Mr, Dirtley moved to amend the amendment so to provide for the appointment of Uiree special commissioners to make the investigation proposed ; which, attcr some remarks by Messrs. iNasli, Hartley and Walton, was lost yeas 3, nays 31.

The bill to incorporate the St. Nicholas German Catholic Church, of Zanesville, having been read a Uurd time, Air. Henderson Btated that he had repor ted the bill agreeably to the written request of mem bers ol suid Church; but, having received another letter from the same individual, auk ing that no bill be pasaed, he would move Uiat Uie bill be indefinitely postponed. Tho bill was Uien indefinitely postponed.The bill to lay out and establish a State road in tho counties of Athens and Jackson, was read a third time, and recommitted to Mr. Van Vorhes, The bill to luy out and establish a free turnpike mad from Lima, in Allen county, to Defiance, in Williams county, was read a third time, when it was recommitted to Mr. Clark.

Mr. Nosh called the attention of the Senate to some provisions in tho bill entirely changing Uie common school regulations in Uie city of Zanesville, should it pass. He could nut vote fur any bill containing such provisions, and making such innova tions in our school system. Mr. Henderson alluded to nineteen amendments. which Uio friends of the bill desired to have made to it. but which had been cut off by the previous ques tion at the time the bill was ordered to a third read ing. Some of those amendments were (rood ; and ho inferred from their character Uiat, without them, the bill would scarcely be acceptable to its friends. lie made somo indignant remarks upon the disposi tion manifested to force Uiis bill through by party kill, in opposition to uio remonstrances ot the mem ber representing those interested, who took the re sponsibility of assuring the Senate Uiat a majority of his constituents who are to be, alone, a lice ted by it, do not desire its ptwge. tie ret erred to dupli cates in the bill, conflicting provisions, &c, and spoke of Uio singular fact that a member of Uie So- uato could not get a local bill referred to him for the purpose of perfecting it ! And yet. mere is no friend of tho bill sulTicicutly interested in it to take it and read it carefully and considerately, in order to make it what it oiiL'ht tn be. The bill was furnished sent to mill by a few partisans; and although no one takes sullicient interest in it to take upon him self the labor of putting it in a proper shape, it seems it has got to bo ground Ui rough members who have not read Uie bill, and who are not willing tn listen to Uio arguments against it, are willing, however, to vole for it, "iroinir it blind." just as it was sent hero. Ho spoke of sundry provisions of the bill, and warned gentlemen that its passage would make more whigs in that town Uian any other act they could pass. After some further remarks by Mr. Nash, reviewing and exposing Uie provisions of Uie bill, Mr. Par ker moved that tho bill be recommitted to a select committee of one which, after some remarks by Messrs. Stanton, Henderson, and Parker, was carried, yeas 22, nays 111, and tho bill recommitted to Mr. Parker. The Speaker laid beforo tho Senate a communication from John II. James, of Cincinnati.

Tho bill to repeal the charter of the town of Wes tern Star, was read a Uiird time and passed. Air. ilyington offered for adoption a resolution, excluding from a seat within the bar of the House, Uie present He porter for tho Ohio State Journal. Mr. 11. claimed to have been misrepresented and falsely reported in the House proceedings of yesterday morning, as published in the Ohio State Journal, relative to the resolution of Uie Senate appointing Samuel Parsons one of the Directors of the Lunatic A avium. Mr. B. read the following as constituting the exceptionable part of Uie report: "Air. llyington moved to recommit ihe resolution to a' select committee of five. Ho was understood to object to the appointment of Mr. Parsons, on the ground of his being a d d old Whig? and a Bank He said he had used no such language in his offi cial capacity as was here attributed to him, and pro ceeded to pronounce the report false, and that it was made with a design ot wilfully misrepresenting him. Mr. Gallagher said he did not hear tho member from Pike use the laniruaire attributed to him, in consequence of Uie peculiar position of his seat, but it was heard ny many ol Uiose who sat near him. Tho exceptionable words were understood to have been used in answer to an interrogatory of the ffon-tleman from Butler, (Mr. McFarland,) designed to draw from Uie member from Pike the particular ob jections entertained by him to the appointment of Mr. 1 arsons a Director ot the Lunatic Asylum. The gentleman from Butler, and others, on obtaining the floor immediately afterwards, referred to the language attributed to the member from Pike, and regretted that political considerations should be suf fered to enter into tho management ot Uie public in stitutions, Mr. G. called upon Uiose of the members who heard the remarks, the gentleman from Butler in particular, to state so to the House. Mr. Chambers remarked Uiat he honed the resolution would not pass, and that no turbulent feelings would be suffered to disturb the harmony of the House at this late and urgent period of the session, which hitherto had been so fortunately preserved. He hoped no tempest would be got up on account of this mailer, believing Uiat if tins resolution were to be passed a storm would be raised, which all parties would regret He had been out of his seat when Uie transaction alluded to took place, and could not Uierefore speak of Uie facta in the case, but from his proximity to the member from r ike, and Uie frequent occasions of hearing Uie remarks of Uiat member, sometimes sub voce, or in an under tone, sometimes loud enough to be heard all around him, and no doubt he had made the remarks attributed to him, not directly to the House, but in a bye way. It was notorious to the House that the member from Pike had a large vocabulary of very hard words which he was in the constant use of, but he had also another set of words which he occasionally used in a bye way which were much harder. It seemed to be his misfortune to pursue this course, but it had, from its frequency, not given material offence, but was rather matter of amusement Mr, C. gave his testi mony in favor of the correct deportment ot the Reporter for the Stale Journal, and from a strict observance of all his daily reports he did not recollect a case wherein he conceived any member was unjustly treated or falsely reported. Mr. C. hoped the case would be passed over witnout any further action, as no good could come of it, nor any person be benefitted by the passage of the resolution, and that a similar occurrence might not again happen. Mr. Ktoedman said he understood the gentleman from Pike to use the language attributed to hint whilst occupying the floor yesterday, in reply to a (mention add reaped to him by Uie gentleman from Butler, (Mr. McFarland,) but considered it a private remark, snd not intended to be addressed to the House. Mr. King said ho was in hit seat yesterday, and heard no such language used by Uie gentletnsn from Pike. M r, Byington again asserted that he had made use of no such languago in his olticial capacity, and pronounced die report false. Mr, Gallagher inquired why the gentleman from Butler, (Mr. McFarland,) had, on obtaining the floor, immediately after, referred to the words used by him in placing his objections to Uie appointment of Mr. Parsons, on political grounds. Mr. Byington said he had no recollection that any such reference to his remarks was made by the member from Butler. He again charged that the report was false, and said that he was misrepresented in a similar manner last winter, in being reported as having moved to send a peUUon to hell, when the Journal of the House showed that no such motion had been made. Mr, Gallagher said the report of last winter did not represent him as moving to send a petition to hell, but as making an inquiry whether such a motion would bo in order. Mr. Byington denied its correctness, Mr. Gallagher said Uie members of the House at that time could testily to its correctness, and had done so. Mr. YVondbridge said that he was paying particular attention to Uio member from Piko while making hia remarks yesterday on the resolution appointing Mr. Parsons a Director of the Lunatic Asylum, and distinctly heard him use the words attributed to him in the Journal report, in reply to an interrogatory propounded by the member from Butler, designed ta draw forth his objections to the passage of U.s resolution then under cooHidemtion.

The question being upon tho amendment offered by Mr. Stanton to the amendment made in committee of the whole, Mr. S. further advocated his amend ment ami oiixsed the calling in of the surplus rev enue in ItCjO, for the purposes contemplated in the bill contending that the lurid could only be recalled, with propriety and justice, for the siecitic purpose or contingency contemplated in tho act of distribution ; that under present circumstances, its repayment in IP.rtJ is impossible i that tn exact it, will be oppress ive; &c. lie wished the bill put in such a shape that he could vote for it; but it cannot bo expected that he should vote for a bill the provisions of which would en nd his constituent to powder. Ho named several counties which he averred could not possibly refund their projiortions of the surplus revenue in Mr. Nosh took tho sat no side. Tho surplus reve nue fund was deposited with the several counties upon the express undentinding that it would not be tilled lor but upon the occurrence ot one ot two con tingencies, neither of which had yet occurred, nor could it bo known tint they would or would not occur namely, a demand from the tieneral Govern ment or by tho Stale, in 1K0, for tho payment of (he tour millions ot public debt doe at the tune the act was pissed. This fund, then, being socilically appniprutcd. cannot be diverted to any other purpose. lie spoke, also, ui tho great burden mat would ne imposed upon the citizens of many counties, by calling iisn thein to refund in lH.V). He said, beside, that the bill left it optional with the counties to col lect or not; and it it passed in its present shape, without absolute requirement, the fund would not bo available at tho time payment is required. It can only be mised by additional taxation, and no county not absolutely required would arid in the present bnr- lens. The pledge, then, would ho worthless, lie hoped the hill would be put in such a form that all could vote for it Mr. Birtley nlo took the view thai the appropria tion of the surplus revenue contemplated in the bill was in violation ot the wrillen pit dire o the tatn, liled in the office of the Secretary of Slate of the Lmled Slates, that the ttind was to be preserved and held subji'Ct to the call of tho General Government Let it bit appropriated as proposed, and where would it bo should the General Government call for it? What would become of the faith of the Slate, pledg ed to the General Government at the timo of recciv that fund ? Mr. Parker contended that the terms of tho act distributing the suridus revenue to the several coun ties, require its repayment in Ir-'iO. If comities were noi tn a condition to nMumi at mat nine, Um tncui be the consequences ul their disobrdienco ot the law, which required its investment in such way as to be aailable at a specihrd time. Mr. Walton was opposed tn pledging and appro priating the surplus revenue, mr ttie same reasons urged by previous stinkers, as a species o immo rality and rrnudiation. It was, also, dishonest to pledge a tumi, ii it wore properly applicable, wnmi it must be known thnt the Mud cannot by possibility bo collected, 1 1' 'furc a veto was taken, The Senate adjourned.

Mr. Clark, from the committee on Public Institu tions, reported bark tho resolution of the Senate ap pointing Samuel parsons one of Ihe Directors of the Lunatic Asylum, recommending its passage. Mr. Spindler moved lo amend tho resolution by striking out the name of Samuel Parsons," and inserting that of "Stephen K. Bradley" lostlS to -Iti. Mr. Dyington moved to recommit the resolution to a select committee of five. He was understood to object to the appointment of Mr. Parsons, on the ground of his being a 41 d -d old Whig," and a ISanK Ltirector. Messrs. McFarland, Olds, and Henderson were opposed tu allowing party considerations to enter into tho management of the Public Institutions.

Mr. Ulds, from the committee on Unnks and the Currency, reported back the bill of the Senate to in-corH)rato tho Dank of Dayton in Montgomery county, without amendment recommending its passage. Air. Aiciulty moved that the bill be indefinitely postponed. Mr. Schenck opposed the motion. Ho had no faith in Latham's law of last winter to regulate Dunking, or in the modification of it which had been made this winter, but he desired that the petitioners asking to bo incorporated, (whose political sentiments were tho same ns those entertained by the present majority of the House,) should be allowed to muke a trial of it. Mr. Fisher objected to the bill, on the ground that the provisions of the law regulating Dunking, requiring notice to be given, had not been complied with by the petitioners. Mr. Chambers was in fnvnr of the motion to indefinitely postpone. He believed the, present law would turn out to be a dead letter on the statute hook, and result in no practical utility to the people. Those of his constituents who were disposed to go into tho business of Dunking on a practical busts, did not so much object to the individual liability principle contained in the bill, ns to the power reserved to the Legislature to amend, alter or repeal charters, when granted. He was also opposed to incorporating individuals for Bunking purposes, unasked and against their wishes. Mr. Dyington thought the bill was too practical, and should therefore vote fonts indefinite postjione-inent There were banks enough already provided for in tho bill for the regulation of bunking, to test its practicability, and to show whether the corporators therein named would consent to do un honest business, or whether they would refuse to accept its provisions without an unlicensed power to swindle the people. Mr. McNulty, on leave, withdrew his motion to indefinitely postpone. Mr. Schenck said he should vote for the engrossment and passage of the bill. He had opHsed the existing taw to regulate banking because he believed it impracticable and inefficient a mere mockery of the wishes am) wants of tho people He spoke of the additional power conferred by it on the Governor, authorizing him to issue his proclamation to procure persons who would accept Kg provisions in case th'se named therein should refuse to do so, and thought that in cae he should be unsuccessful in procuring any "swindling bankers" in litis Stute. he should then muko a requisition on the Governors uf other States for tint purpose and if still unsuccessful, as a last resort, should pardon some of the convicts out of the Penitentiary and tnii-funn them into bankers. So anxious wero the Democracy to procure persons to bank under their bill, and so widely had the alnrln spread through llio country, that he had been informed, on tho authority of a newspaper, that certain gentlemen were waiting on the other side of the Ohio rivor, at Wheeling for the adjournment of this Legislature so they could pass through the State without being forced into tho busmen uf banking. Mr. S. said the petition asking for the establishing of a Dank at Dayton was signed by upwards nf one hundred citizens nf that place, nine-tenths nf whom agreed in political sentiments with the present majority in tho Legislature. Their location was at a point where a Dank hud just gone out of existence which had been doing & successful business tin many years, and another one was needed in its place. The petitioners were all men of ample means, and enpa- iu ui mnrimif n mir inai ni me present law, ah the ireumstances attendimr their implication were necu- liarly favorable to making a fuir test of its practicability, and Mr. S. hojed the majority of the House would by no means refuse to a (lord these persons an opportunity of doing so. .Mr. Uhls took a similar view of tho subiect Ho considered this a test question nf the practicability of the banking law of the present session, and there was no excuse lor refusing to incorporate these mdi- uais wno had made a direct application. I lo thought their location a good one, nml that all the the circumstances attending their application were favor a blc to a fitir triul of the law. Ho hoped the Whig side of the House would support the present bill. He had been fearful that difficulty would have been ex perienced in obtaining persons tn accept the provisions nf the existing law, but was ilad that a volun tary application had been made. Mr. Jtyinirton asked whether tho centleman from Pickaway doubted the practicability of the law to regulate banking, and requested a categorical an swer. Mr. Olds said ho would answer the nuestion if al lowed siillicienl time it would take him an hour or two to do it Mr. McNulty moved to amend tho bill bv addinir thereto a section incorporating certain individuals in Knox county, under tho name of the Owl Creek Darn of Mt. Vernon. Ho said he h id ullorcd his amendment in good faith. He would vote for it and after ward vote against the bill. J he I hnir decided the amendment to be nut of or der, when Mr. McNulty moved to suspend the rules to enable him to oiler it Mr. Robinson opposed the motion tn susnend tho rules on the ground that the amendment could not be entertained without violating a provision in the present law inquiring notice to be given fur making an application to hank under it Mr. Schenck opposed the motion, and considered the amendment as designed for no other object than todi'fcul tho bill. He supported the bill in good faith, and hoied it would pass. Ho repeated that he had no confidence in tho present law for the regulation of bunking, but wishoj its practicability to be tested in order that if it should prove to be a Humbug we should know how to act in reference to iho currency question hereafter. Mr. MrlSuliy made sntno further remarks, when without taking tho question, l he House adjourned till U o clock, r. M. a oVoc. p. M.

The Senate retired, and tho House lookup and resumed the consideration of the hill to incorporate, under Uie present law lo regulate Ranking, the Dank of Dayton, in Montgomery county. Mr. Schenck moved to amend the bill, tn that tho capital stock of said Dank shall be divided into shares of two hundred dollars each, (agreeably with the prayer of the petitioners,) instead of one hundred dollars each. i Mr, McNulty demanded the Previous Question, ! which was ordered, and the amendment of Mr. Schenck was rejected yeas 27, nuys 31). The bill was then ordered to a third reading on to-morrow yeas, Hi) nays 23. Mr. Uyington, in behalf ot himsclt and Messrs.

Mr. Stcedman introduced a bill to amend Ihe act passed during the present session amendatory to an act to provido for the revaluation and sale of the canal lands ot the State of Ohio, which was passed to a second reading, and referred to the committee on Public Lands. Mr, Dyington, from the Judiciary committee, in obedience to a resolution offered by Mr. Bowen, re ported back the bill of the Senate providing for the prosecution of suits for or against Banking institu tions in the hands of Receivers, recommending that Uie ponding amendment of the Senate be agreed to. Air. Kelley of C, moved to amend the bill so as to allow the Receivers of Banks to renew at their discretion the notes of the debtors of such Banks Inst. 1 Mr. K. moved to refer the bill to a select commit-! too of one lost j Tho amendment of the Senate was then agreed to. On motion of Mr. Schenck, the House toulc up the resolution to send a message to the Senate, requesting a return of the bill which pusscd the House yes terday, to divide Uie State into Congressional Districts.Tho question was then tnken on the adoption of tho rcsolntion, when it was lost yeas 23, nays 35 Messrs. uark and Meredith voting with the Whigs in the atfirmutivc.

Mr. Probasco gave notice in behalf of himself and others, of his intention to have a Protest entered on tho Journal against the passage nf the bill to divide the Slate into Congressional Disiricts, Mr. Schenck offered a resolution, directing the committee on Finance to report back on to-morrow, the resolution nf the Senate fixing ujmn a day for the adjournment of the General Assembly. Before Ukiug the question, Tho House adjourned. Thursday, iflnrch 'J, 1 !.'(. IN SENATE. Mr. LaUiam presented tho petition of Gen. T. Worthington, of Chnlicothe, fur an alteration of the low to abolish imprisonment tor debt Mr. Hazeltine, from the committee on Public Debt reported buck tho bill to abolish the Board uf Canal Fund Commissioners, and to provide for an investigation of the affairs of said Board, with amendments. Among theikc amendments was one striking out the fourteenth section, which requires an agency or trans fer oil ice in tho city of Now York, winch gave rise to considerable discussion Messrs. Ford, Parker and Nash opposing, and Messrs. Dartley and Huzid-tinu advocating the striking out Lost yeas U, nays n. Mr. Walton offered an additional section, direct ing a full and strict investigation of theaflairs of the old Board, or any uicmher thereof, by the new Board, und empowering it to bring suit it necessary. Mr. Dartley opposed the amendment, though he thought he should have no objection to the object of it if introduced in a separate bill. He did not wish to h ive a general I lw encumbered with a mere tem porary requirement It would, besides, be impolitic to array the old and new Boards against one another. .Mr. Wultoti construed the opposition ot Mr. Bart- ley to Uie amendment as unfavorable tn the proposition itself, and reflected with some severity upon that gentleman, having "marked" that he opposed every projiosition coming from any other member that did not exactly square with his own views. He asserted that the bill without the amendment would not bo worth a cent or a snap, &c. Jlr. liazeltino made some remarks in lustiucntion of the committee on Public Debt from some reflections by Air. Walton. Mr. Dirtley said this was not the place, nor was the proposition to require the new Board to make the investigation the proper manner, tor proceeding agairwt the old Board. It was not possible for the new Board to tnuke the investigation; they will not have lime to attend to it Besides, he insisted that it would array the two Boards against each other, and prejudice Iho public interests, ist the gentle man introduce the proposition for an investigation, in the proper m inner, and he should go wuh him. Air. Walton saw nothing in Uie gentleman s argu ments to operate against his amendment The new Board would have little to do, and abundant tune tu make the investigation. To make a special commission would cost a large sum. Mr. Stanton had heard so many charges against the old Board from the stump, for the purpose of in juring the Whig party, that ho had determined to vote lor the urst proposition tor a full investigation of Uie books and accounts of the Board. He should, therefore, vote fur the amendment Mr, Dirtley moved to amend the amendment so to provide for the appointment of Uiree special commissioners to make the investigation proposed ; which, attcr some remarks by Messrs. iNasli, Hartley and Walton, was lost yeas 3, nays 31.

The bill to incorporate the St. Nicholas German Catholic Church, of Zanesville, having been read a Uurd time, Air. Henderson Btated that he had repor ted the bill agreeably to the written request of mem bers ol suid Church; but, having received another letter from the same individual, auk ing that no bill be pasaed, he would move Uiat Uie bill be indefinitely postponed. Tho bill was Uien indefinitely postponed.The bill to lay out and establish a State road in tho counties of Athens and Jackson, was read a third time, and recommitted to Mr. Van Vorhes, The bill to luy out and establish a free turnpike mad from Lima, in Allen county, to Defiance, in Williams county, was read a third time, when it was recommitted to Mr. Clark.

Mr. Nosh called the attention of the Senate to some provisions in tho bill entirely changing Uie common school regulations in Uie city of Zanesville, should it pass. He could nut vote fur any bill containing such provisions, and making such innova tions in our school system. Mr. Henderson alluded to nineteen amendments. which Uio friends of the bill desired to have made to it. but which had been cut off by the previous ques tion at the time the bill was ordered to a third read ing. Some of those amendments were (rood ; and ho inferred from their character Uiat, without them, the bill would scarcely be acceptable to its friends. lie made somo indignant remarks upon the disposi tion manifested to force Uiis bill through by party kill, in opposition to uio remonstrances ot the mem ber representing those interested, who took the re sponsibility of assuring the Senate Uiat a majority of his constituents who are to be, alone, a lice ted by it, do not desire its ptwge. tie ret erred to dupli cates in the bill, conflicting provisions, &c, and spoke of Uio singular fact that a member of Uie So- uato could not get a local bill referred to him for the purpose of perfecting it ! And yet. mere is no friend of tho bill sulTicicutly interested in it to take it and read it carefully and considerately, in order to make it what it oiiL'ht tn be. The bill was furnished sent to mill by a few partisans; and although no one takes sullicient interest in it to take upon him self the labor of putting it in a proper shape, it seems it has got to bo ground Ui rough members who have not read Uie bill, and who are not willing tn listen to Uio arguments against it, are willing, however, to vole for it, "iroinir it blind." just as it was sent hero. Ho spoke of sundry provisions of the bill, and warned gentlemen that its passage would make more whigs in that town Uian any other act they could pass. After some further remarks by Mr. Nash, reviewing and exposing Uie provisions of Uie bill, Mr. Par ker moved that tho bill be recommitted to a select committee of one which, after some remarks by Messrs. Stanton, Henderson, and Parker, was carried, yeas 22, nays 111, and tho bill recommitted to Mr. Parker. The Speaker laid beforo tho Senate a communication from John II. James, of Cincinnati.

Tho bill to repeal the charter of the town of Wes tern Star, was read a Uiird time and passed. Air. ilyington offered for adoption a resolution, excluding from a seat within the bar of the House, Uie present He porter for tho Ohio State Journal. Mr. 11. claimed to have been misrepresented and falsely reported in the House proceedings of yesterday morning, as published in the Ohio State Journal, relative to the resolution of Uie Senate appointing Samuel Parsons one of the Directors of the Lunatic A avium. Mr. B. read the following as constituting the exceptionable part of Uie report: "Air. llyington moved to recommit ihe resolution to a' select committee of five. Ho was understood to object to the appointment of Mr. Parsons, on the ground of his being a d d old Whig? and a Bank He said he had used no such language in his offi cial capacity as was here attributed to him, and pro ceeded to pronounce the report false, and that it was made with a design ot wilfully misrepresenting him. Mr. Gallagher said he did not hear tho member from Pike use the laniruaire attributed to him, in consequence of Uie peculiar position of his seat, but it was heard ny many ol Uiose who sat near him. Tho exceptionable words were understood to have been used in answer to an interrogatory of the ffon-tleman from Butler, (Mr. McFarland,) designed to draw from Uie member from Pike the particular ob jections entertained by him to the appointment of Mr. 1 arsons a Director ot the Lunatic Asylum. The gentleman from Butler, and others, on obtaining the floor immediately afterwards, referred to the language attributed to the member from Pike, and regretted that political considerations should be suf fered to enter into tho management ot Uie public in stitutions, Mr. G. called upon Uiose of the members who heard the remarks, the gentleman from Butler in particular, to state so to the House. Mr. Chambers remarked Uiat he honed the resolution would not pass, and that no turbulent feelings would be suffered to disturb the harmony of the House at this late and urgent period of the session, which hitherto had been so fortunately preserved. He hoped no tempest would be got up on account of this mailer, believing Uiat if tins resolution were to be passed a storm would be raised, which all parties would regret He had been out of his seat when Uie transaction alluded to took place, and could not Uierefore speak of Uie facta in the case, but from his proximity to the member from r ike, and Uie frequent occasions of hearing Uie remarks of Uiat member, sometimes sub voce, or in an under tone, sometimes loud enough to be heard all around him, and no doubt he had made the remarks attributed to him, not directly to the House, but in a bye way. It was notorious to the House that the member from Pike had a large vocabulary of very hard words which he was in the constant use of, but he had also another set of words which he occasionally used in a bye way which were much harder. It seemed to be his misfortune to pursue this course, but it had, from its frequency, not given material offence, but was rather matter of amusement Mr, C. gave his testi mony in favor of the correct deportment ot the Reporter for the Stale Journal, and from a strict observance of all his daily reports he did not recollect a case wherein he conceived any member was unjustly treated or falsely reported. Mr. C. hoped the case would be passed over witnout any further action, as no good could come of it, nor any person be benefitted by the passage of the resolution, and that a similar occurrence might not again happen. Mr. Ktoedman said he understood the gentleman from Pike to use the language attributed to hint whilst occupying the floor yesterday, in reply to a (mention add reaped to him by Uie gentleman from Butler, (Mr. McFarland,) but considered it a private remark, snd not intended to be addressed to the House. Mr. King said ho was in hit seat yesterday, and heard no such language used by Uie gentletnsn from Pike. M r, Byington again asserted that he had made use of no such languago in his olticial capacity, and pronounced die report false. Mr, Gallagher inquired why the gentleman from Butler, (Mr. McFarland,) had, on obtaining the floor, immediately after, referred to the words used by him in placing his objections to Uie appointment of Mr. Parsons, on political grounds. Mr. Byington said he had no recollection that any such reference to his remarks was made by the member from Butler. He again charged that the report was false, and said that he was misrepresented in a similar manner last winter, in being reported as having moved to send a peUUon to hell, when the Journal of the House showed that no such motion had been made. Mr, Gallagher said the report of last winter did not represent him as moving to send a petition to hell, but as making an inquiry whether such a motion would bo in order.
